Mediation & Family Dispute Resolution
We understand that separation can be an incredibly challenging time for everyone involved. When it becomes difficult to reach an agreement regarding the care arrangements for your children, it's essential to consider Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) as a viable option.
Our highly skilled and compassionate separation Lawyers in Newcastle recognise the importance of finding amicable solutions through FDR. Our in-house Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), accredited by the federal attorney general's department, can guide you through the mediation process. With our expertise in family dispute resolution, we aim to facilitate constructive conversations and help you find a mutually acceptable resolution.

Choosing mediation and family dispute resolution before resorting to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia is encouraged, demonstrating a genuine commitment to resolving conflicts outside of the courtroom.
Our dedicated FDRP will work closely with you to explore options and encourage open communication, fostering a more positive and cooperative environment.
In situations where mediation does not lead to a resolution, our FDRP can issue a section 60i certificate. This certificate is crucial if you decide to proceed to the court, as it indicates that you have made an attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation.
At Cooper Williams Lawyers, we understand the urgency of these matters and the emotional toll they can take. That's why we prioritise efficient service, ensuring no lengthy wait times and providing prompt support throughout the process.
